Chapter 648

Good heavens!

It really was him!

This thought was the only thing going through Minerva's mind. Suddenly, she felt her eyes heatingup and tears started streaming down her cheeks.

She always thought that... she had been pregnant with a stranger's child. In the beginning she evenalmost got rid of her baby.

In the end she kept her baby, and she slowly began to love the tiny life growing in her.

Later on, when Sylvia helped her investigate, she told her that Benedict was the father.

When she heard that, Minerva almost broke down. She felt like she could no longer face Maddoxagain after having given birth to the child.

After that...

She did not want to recall the past.

Minerva closed her eyes. Tears silently flowed down the corners of her eyes and soaked her pillow.

"What's wrong?"

Maddox, who was behind her, had probably sensed that something was amiss, so he askedanxiously.

She came to her senses and shook her head.

"Nothing. It's getting late. I've asked all that I want to ask. Get some rest."

After a moment of silence, he still couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're fine?"

Minerva chuckled as tears rolled down her face, "Why wouldn't I be? Hurry up and go to sleep."

After that, she closed her eyes.

Beanie...

Would he be happy if he got to meet his daddy?

Maddox was his biological father after all.

Although a lot of things had happened in the past, Minerva no longer had the strength to investigatethem one by one.

She had nothing to be jealous about. She was the woman he had before and the one he had now.

With this thought in mind, Minerva slowly fell asleep.

Since her questions had been answered, she felt satisfied and she fell asleep easily. HoweverMaddox was the complete opposite.

After talking to her about the date, he seemed to feel a touch of dampness in the air, and then hewondered if she was crying.

However, when he asked her, she laughed softly and he could not hear anything wrong in her voice.

It was not until Minerva's breathing slowed down that Maddox slowly got up. He looked at her faceunder the moonlight and noticed that the corner of her eyes were stained with tears.

Although it had already dried up, when he touched it, he could still feel that the skin was a littledifferent from other parts of her body.

"Was she crying?"

He pursed his thin lips and knitted his brows tightly.novelbin

Was it because he remembered the date too well? So she was jealous and upset? Was that whyshe cried?

However, he remembered it so clearly because too many things happened that day. It wasn't justbecause of the strange woman, but also because he was set up.

He had to remember that day well. From then on, he would never fall for it again.

Looking at the faint tear stains, Maddox bent over and kissed her lightly like a feather. After a while,he laid beside her. His heart felt like it was being clenched tightly.

Back in Hidalgo.

Vera was lying down on the table and scribbling something on a piece of paper. After a while, shefelt like something wasn't right, so she tore the paper off and threw it away

She tried again on a new page, but it still felt wrong, so she tried again.

She kept throwing away pages and pages of paper. Beanie, who was sitting on the sofa and holdinga basket of fruits, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Auntie Vera, you've already wasted a lot of paper."

Hearing this, she raised her head and glared at him angrily, "It's not like I'm wasting your paper. Ibought it myself."

"But..." Beanie ate a grape, "Auntie Vera, you can type it on a computer. It'll be easier to edit anddelete it. Why are you wasting paper like this... My teacher said it's shameful to waste things."

She was speechless.

"I know." She tugged at her long hair crazily and said angrily, "I can't get it right. I'm so annoyed."

"Actually... Auntie Vera, you don't have to write anything. No matter what you write, Uncle Quillwon't hire you."

"Why won't he hire me?" She huffed and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. If he refusesme, I'll just keep trying. Maybe one day I'll succeed."

"Well," Beanie touched his chin as if he was thinking about something, "Uncle Quill is a cold man.Rather than be his secretary, you're probably better off being a nanny in the Hanover family."

"Nanny?" Vera's eyes widened incredulously, "You're actually a little devil, aren't you, Beanie? Howcould you ask me to go be your uncle's nanny? A nanny! It's very dangerous for a young girl like meto be a nanny, okay?"

Beanie paused from eating and stared at her blankly.

"Why is it dangerous?"

Vera got up and walked to him, then she poked him in the forehead.

"You little devil, apart from eating, do you know anything else? If a beautiful young girl goes to workas a nanny, she could easily meet a pervert master and be taken advantage of."

Beanie swallowed the grape in his mouth, blinked his eyes and tilted his head.

"But Uncle Quill is the master of the Hanover family. Aren't you trying to get taken advantage of byhim anyway?"

Vera stared at him speechlessly.

"That's true. Quill is the master of the Hanover family. If he wanted to do anything to me, I wouldvery willingly allow him to," she thought.

But she was more afraid that he wouldn't even want to do anything with her.

No, what was wrong with her?

And what was wrong with Beanie? How could he tell her this? How did he know about all this?

Thinking of this, she went over and narrowed her eyes to look at him. Suddenly, she pinchedBeanie's ear with one hand.

"Be honest, how do you know so much? Where are you picking up all this bad knowledge?"

Vera was fierce and she tightened her grip. Beanie's white ear turned red in a flash. He cried outpainfully, "Ah, let go! It's so painful!"

"It better hurt. What have you been putting into your brain? I know you're smart, but you shouldn'tbe too smart. Some things shouldn't be in your brain. Quick, forget what you said to me and forgetall the improper thoughts in your mind."

Beanie cried out and he tried to push her hand away but failed. He was about to start crying fromthe pain.

In the end, he brought out his trump card again, "Auntie Vera, if you still won't let me go, I'll call myuncle immediately and say something bad about you!"

Upon hearing Quill's name, Vera was really frightened. She stared into space for a while. When shelooked back down, Beanie had already escaped.

He covered his reddened ear and ran to the stairs. He had one foot on the stairs when he turnedback to look at her.

"Humph, if you bully me again, I will call my uncle every day and tell him bad things about you.Then, your chances of getting with him will be even lower."

"How dare you!"

Vera was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "You're not allowed to use thephone! I am trying to marry your uncle here!"

"You'll have to please me. If you make me happy, I'll take you to go see Uncle Quill."
